Carelord starts ... NOW: So there is this folksong about the Johnstown Flood. Only it wasn't around when a character in a Bruce Springsteen song namechecks it. And Springsteen's song demanded that Johnny Cash sing it. So someone had to write the folksong for Johnny to sing, because when Johnny namechecks a song, Johnny can't lie. But he died. So now these folks sing it.

On the eve of Year Zero, Will, Felix, Matt and Brendan make last minute predictions, discuss the 100% clean comedy of 35-year-old Dan Nainan, and throw the spotlight on the incriminating Satanic emails discovered in the Podesta leaks.

We also discuss Brendan’s latest article for Deadspin about the strange case of natsec tough guy Robert Caruso. Finally, Matt’s wife Carolyn jumps on the mic and we play the highlight reel of our “The Day the Clown Cried” interview with the Free Beacon’s Matthew Walther.

Episode 56 - Under Seige 3: Before Year Zero (11/7/16)

First we talk to Ezekiel Kweku of MTV about his diagnosis of the Democratic Party's failure this year, how they can beat white nationalism next time around, and the Æon Flux animated series. Then the full Chapo team assembles to tackle the book "The Up Side of Down: Why Failing Well Is the Key to Success" by Bloomberg View blogger and chronically wrong person Megan McArdle. It's a horrible dumb book and everyone gets mad at Will for making them read it.
